Commission forwards $69,598.63 state aggressive‑driving grant to finance and government
Summary
The commission voted to forward a $69,598.63 state grant for an aggressive‑driving overtime program to the finance and government committee; the Police Chief said the grant is 100% reimbursable and would fund overtime during a July–September period.
The Middletown Public Safety Commission on June 16 voted to forward a state aggressive‑driving grant of $69,598.63 to the city’s finance and government committee. The Police Chief said the grant covers activity that runs July 1 through Sept. 5 and is intended to pay overtime for officers assigned to the program.
"It's a 100% reimbursable," the Police Chief said, describing the grant as no net cost to the city's general fund if operations adhere to the reimbursement terms. The chief said the funds would be used to pay officers’ overtime on targeted enforcement shifts.
A member moved to forward the grant and another member seconded; the commission approved the referral by voice vote with no recorded oppositions or abstentions in the meeting record. The chair indicated the matter passes and that the finance and government committee will now consider appropriation and implementation details.
Next steps: Finance and government will review the grant and determine the appropriation and the operational plan for the enforcement shifts.
